A virtual convention brings a community together online for a program of panels, creator talks, demonstrations, contests, meetups and community showcases. They're popular with fans of comics, games, anime and genre fiction, as well as hobby communities like tabletop gaming, model building, crafting and collecting. Attending online removes the cost and time of travel and lets people join from anywhere.
Organizers run sessions using their own meeting or streaming tools and share the links with registered attendees. Some conventions run for a single day; others spread events over a weekend across several time zones. Many also feature an artist alley or vendor area where community creators sell their work through their own shops.
Check the schedule in your time zone, which sessions need separate registration, and how participation works — whether you can ask questions in panels or join smaller meetups.
